Ideal Choice for Waste Management



Why Anaerobic Digestion?
There are essentially three main options for dealing with organic wastes:
§  bury it - which means landfilling
§  burn it - which means incineration, gasification or pyrolysis
§  bio-digest it - which means either anaerobic digestion or composting
Technology
Sustainable
Impact on the environment
Energy recovery
Fertiliser output
Water recovery
Heavy metal recovery
Landfill
No
Unsustainable waste of resources
No
Some CH
4 to atmosphere, leachate problems
Yes
Partial if landfill gas extracted
No
No fertiliser outputs
No
Lost in leachate
No
Not possible
Composting
No
Energy required
No
Damage to ozone layer, also leachate problems
No
None
Yes
Incomplete pathogen kill
No
Lost to atmosphere
No
Not possible
Incineration
No
Fertiliser loss negates any energy gain
No
Toxic ash
Yes
Some but Energy wasted
Yes
Some P&K output, but N destroyed
No
Burnt off
No
Secondary waste
Pyrolysis
No
Fertiliser loss negates any energy gain
No
Toxic ash, emmissions regulated
Yes
Some but Energy wasted
Yes
Some P&K output, but N destroyed
No
Burnt off
No
Secondary waste
Gasification
No
Fertiliser loss reduces energy gain
Yes
Pollutants locked in slag
Yes
Some but Energy wasted
Yes
Some P&K output, but N destroyed
No
Burnt off
No
Controlled not recovered
Anaerobic digestion
Yes
Carbon neutral
Yes
Total recovery of energy as CH
4CO2 & fertiliser
Yes
Maximum overall energy
Yes
Clean NPK fertiliser and trace elements
Yes
100%
Yes
Heavy metals can be recovered from digestate

Anaerobic digestion is the only system for dealing with organic waste which is sustainable, recovers the maximum energy, is a completely closed system with no emissions to air or land, which retains the fertiliser and water content, and facilitates the recovery of heavy metals.

Subsidy For Biomass Briquetting Plant Project In India

blog.briquettingpressmachine.com/subsidy-for-biomass-briquetting-plant-project-in-india/ Subsidy for biomass briquetting plant project is the unique feature of this project. The new energy system biomass briquette plant is the great option for need of renewable energy in future. Sustainable energy sources are new expect for future energy sources and that’s why biomass briquetting plant is more preferable in India as well as foreign countries. Government encourages biomass briquette plant project by offering best subsidy plans to buyers. You can find any information of government incentives on biomass briquetting project, here. State Subsidy for  briquetting machine  in India is varies depends upon government taxes. Due to subsidy for biomass briquette plant in India, advantages and profitability of briquetting press machine is great. Being Agriculture country, the current availability of biomass in India is estimated at about 500 millions metric tones per year which is useful as

11 countries leading the charge on renewable energy

https://www.climatecouncil.org.au/11-countries-leading-the-charge-on-renewable-energy/   The need for a swift transition to renewable energy is more urgent than ever. Climate change, driven by the burning coal, oil and gas, is already wreaking havoc on communities, economies and ecosystems right around the world. The easiest, quickest and most effective way of driving down greenhouse gas emissions and giving ourselves the best chance of kicking climate change’s butt is by moving to an energy system based on renewables and storage.  Here are some inspiring countries that are using clever combinations of renewable resources and efficient, targeted policies to drive down their emissions . Sweden In 2012 Sweden reached their target of 50% renewable energy 8 years ahead of schedule. This puts them right on track to reach their 2040 goal of 100% renewable electricity production. How did they do it? By taking advantage of their natural resources and using a combination

Solar Cell Manufacturers review

There are essentially 3 types of Solar Cell Companies .The tier 1 comprising top 2% do core R&d and are integrated end-to-end.The experience is more than 10 years. The second line about 8% do not indulge in R&d but use partial robotics etc for manufacturing. They have experience of 2-5 years .The rest 90% are assemblers and use human production lines for manual soldering.The projects however have a good capital output ratio .  Here's a good link to review the top Solar Companies  http://www.forbes.com/sites/uciliawang/2014/12/03/guess-who-are-the-top-10-solar-panel-makers-in-the-world/#2e34708f2812 Solar equipment makers are gearing up to expand production again after many of them had to idle production lines or close factories. So who are the top 10 solar panel makers these days? IHS   released its ranking today that put Trina Solar as the top shipper of solar panels in 2014, followed by Yingli Green  Energy . Both companies are based in China, which ha
